Unbelievable. Saw this at another forum and the thread title was "German keeper commits suicide", and I expected some 3rd Division guy I had never heard of, then I read it's Enke. Horrible.

R.I.P Robert Enke...
That´s what most of us think... but life put you in situations where it looks like it´s the only solution. I´m wondering why he committed suicide

Looks like he was depressive since about 2003...i mean come on...hes daughter died, he was on his way to become germanys number one twice and got thrown back by injurys and diseases. Allthough this was pretty strange, maybe he wasnt sick at all, maybe he just couldnt handle the pressure. Maybe more happened, no one of us knows about. Tragic story like Deisler.
Rest in Peace, Robert. Great goalkeeper and very smart and humble guy.

It's difficult to understand unless you've struggled with depression. It can literally make you feel useless, like there's no place for you in the world. It can get you no matter where you are in life.
Neil Lennon, ex Celtic, talked about his struggle with it in his book. It's just something you can only keep in check, most depressives never beat it.
Being open about it helps tremendously as then the people around you can support you, but as a man it's difficult to admit something that can be seen as a weakness.
It's also an illness that you can't see, and not being able to see it limits the understanding of it.

Right on the nail Bobby. Very insightful.
Anyone ( and we are talking many millions of people here), who suffer from depression (or stress and anxiety disorder as it is known in the UK), will know only too well the long difficult struggle to cope with it.
You become someone that you don't like, ( and also someone that nobody else likes either ), and the battle is to re-discover as much as you can the person you once were. The mental strength required to overcome or even fight the negativity within is massive.
No medicines can cure this all too common illness, and as Bobby said, openess is definately the way to begin moving forward. It's hardly something that you can hide from people who know you anyway, and it's actually beneficial that YOU know that other people know, and that they are there to support you.
The stigma of this illness needs to be removed. After all this is an illness that occurs simply because a particular gland in our bodies reduces for some reason, the chemical that makes us all, to all intents and purposes, happy.
So even though it's known as a mental ilness, hence the stigma, its beginnings are of a physical nature.
I can't believe that they can't cure this dreadful ilness, and being the sceptic that I am, I tend to believe that the drug companies are already making shedloads of money as things stand, and wouldn't actully want to disturb the staus quo, but thats another matter entirely.

Just 6 Million People (alone) in Germany which suffer from depression... much less from whole Europa, the USA and much other countries.
Yesterday it was a very sad memorial ceremony in the AWD-Arena in Hannover, 35.000 People which wanted to remember Robert Enke... but good. It's the past, now he can see his 2006 died daugther.
